Flight Plans not generating for iFly

[Steve Waite]

I'm doing a full reinstall of the iFly 737 and then the update to see if i can spot what can go wrong...

[Steve Waite]

...when installing the 737 there is the decision to install for FSX and FSX-SE in dual mode - I wonder if that caused a problem. Do you have FSX and FSX-SE side by side?

[Steve Waite]

...just thinking out loud - can you go to the Cold and Dark section in Flight Gen, and More Settings, Program GPS at the bottom should already be checked because you get the .PLN output, but can you see that it is checked?

...seems A-OK. When the old version is installed first, and IF10 run, it picks up the new plane. Then after the update is installed, and IF10 is run again it picks up the changes and can be seen re-indexing the planes to make the updates. So it all kind of works as expected. The latest version of the FMS is happy with the exported file co route loading as well.

I'm wondering if something happened when you updated the 737 due to the differences between the FSX and the FSX/FSX-SE dual install methods.

I suggest deleting all the iFly folders in SimObjects and then run IF10 so it scans the aircraft folders. Then close IF10 and simply go for an install from the latest 737 FSX build from Flight1. If that works OK run IF10 and it should install the 737s properly.

Hi Steve,
Did a Complete Scenery and Aircraft Index, no change.
Verified in Cold and Dark, Fueled for the Route is only selected.
In More Settings, only have Aircraft is Serviced selected. Program GPS for Flight is NOT selected.

Do you think I should re-install the pre_19 update or, just do a complete uninstall and reinstall (different directory)?

[rseijo]

Forgot to mention only running FSX. Have not upgraded to FSX-SE yet.

I'll try last recommendation you outlined. Thanks!

After deleting the iFly folders in SimObjects make sure there's no lost files around in the SimObjects folder, only should have files in the aircraft subfolders...no need to uninstall the iFly. However there is the other iFly folder in the FSX Program Files folder, check that's OK:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\iFly"

contains:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\iFly\737NG"

contains folders :
Charts
..
..
navdata
.. etc.
and a few files styles.ini, ifly.dll, current_version.txt..

No need to uninstall IF10 make sure you got pre_19 - and set to program GPS as well.

I'm going to upload pre_20 so that it's got the better reporting in the Export section. Will be a few minutes...We just install new versions of IF on top. back in a moment.

..I've made some changes to the world map page and Help which some want to check out so it's handy...
